“[Man] no longer has time for himself and for God. . . . He does not have time to die because he does not have time to live. . . . The monk agrees to lose all his time for God. Monastic life is happy; monastic death is, also.” — Dom Pateau, O.S.B., of Fontgombault Abbey.
This week, we discuss Fontgombault, Mondaye Abbey, and the famous Grande Chartreuse—with a special concluding editorial on “Catholic privilege” from Fr. Joseph Fessio, S.J.
